[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Singer Lee Ji-hye opened up about her worries and shed tears.

On the 11th, on KBS Joy's entertainment program 'Ask Anything' (Mureobosal), Lee Ji-hye appeared as the last person seeking advice.

Lee Ji-hye said, "I recently had a second child, but my heart didn't beat. I ended up having a miscarriage. On the show, I was making a fuss calling myself the 'Egg Queen,' but I started to worry. For my first child, having two would be good, but thinking about work, I was unsure what to do," and confessed, "Actually, getting pregnant with the second child was something I worked on by tracking ovulation days carefully, but it became too much of a burden."

She continued, "After SHINHWA disbanded, I really worked hard to get to where I am now. I'm very grateful. I became a DJ and even started YouTube, and things went well. But even when I was full-term, I was doing radio, so I couldn't rest," adding, "When I had the miscarriage, I had surgery and did a live broadcast the day after next. Because of that, I have a bit of depression wondering, 'Is this really right for me?'"

As she shared her worries, Lee Ji-hye suddenly couldn't hold back her tears. MC Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Soo-geun handed her tissues to comfort her, and Lee Ji-hye smiled weakly, saying, "My hormones are fluctuating."

Lee Ji-hye said, "My husband works hard too, but I don't know. Is this my own greed?" and added, "In our line of work, if you take a break, you get scared to come back. It was very hard to stand on my own after SHINHWA, and now if I stop, I fear I won't be able to go further. My body is exhausted, and even though I want to rest, I can't even decide to let go of the rope."

She continued, "I hate showing my struggles. People want to see me happy, not crying," and confessed, "I want to lie by a swimming pool and have a glass of champagne without any thoughts."

In response, Lee Soo-geun advised, "For worries like this, you absolutely need to rest for at least a week. If you rest for about three days, you'll want to work again," and added, "You need to rest to feel that way."
